Publisher's Synopsis
First published in 1895, this fascinating volume explores the subject of criminality in relation to psychology and psychological problems, focusing on the contemporary legal and social stances as well as the idea and methods of reforming those with mental illnesses who have committed crimes. William Alanson White (1870 - 1937) was a notable American psychiatrist and neurologist. Other works by this author include: "Mental Mechanisms" (1911), "Outlines of Psychiatry" (1915), and "Diseases of the Nervous System" (1915). This book will appeal to those with an interest in criminal psychology, and particularly the history and development of allied theories. Many vintage books like this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now complete with the original text and artwork for the enjoyment of readers now and for years to come.
